Halloween, Another Move, and First Thanksgiving Alone!

HALLOWEEN!!!!  Who doesn't love this holiday?  Well, I guess I love most holidays because they always involve lots of family time and treats.  But Halloween holds a special place because not only do I get an excuse to eat sweets, but I get to dress up, carve pumpkins, and I love the fall decor!  So this year I made sure to try and do lots of fun things to make it memorable.

We decided to all be ninjas since they are super awesome and really cheap to do. (Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of all three of us together in our costumes, which made me really sad).  My friend Jackie did my make-up and fake tattoos and we bought Ender a cheap wal-mart ninja suit. We went to a little carnival that had the headless horseman riding around and a straw maze that had a random camel just chillin.  On Halloween morning I made pancakes shaped like pumpkins, and that night we went to the Trunk-Or-Treat that our apartment complex hosted.  The food was delicious even though it rained a little bit. :)

                                      

      So that was a fun Halloween!  After Ender went to bed, we watched a "The Fourth Kind" with our friends Greg and Jackie, which ended up not being very scary at all (much to Josh's disappoint and my happiness :)

















Moving AGAIN? Why, yes,  of course we have moved again! And just a heads up, we will be moving in April as well, but that one will be a lot further in distance.  The most recent move was only across town to an apartment that costs less and is newer/nicer, so we were excited about it, even though it was a pain.  Ender quite enjoyed the new shelving area in our room.

Speaking of the cute child, he is getting so grown up and just more and more adorable every day!  We are so blessed to have just a goofy, snuggly, lil' firecracker full of energy in our lives.  He makes everything more fun and hilarious and brings such a light into our little family.

Throwing laundry everywhere :)

Taking a break

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun as well, although a lot more work then I anticipated! The turkey was actually my favorite part, and the easiest to prepare.  It was all the annoying side dishes that took forever!  I made blackberry pie and brownie trifle the day before, and Josh brought home a pumpkin pie from work.  The turkey got just a tad overdone on top, but Josh claimed he still liked it. :) So overall, it was exhausting but definitely worth it!
